What reviewers say
“Great way to start the Vasse Felix tasting. Unusual to see a fizz from Margaret River. On limestone soils, cooked by ocean breezes. 100% Chardonnay, 30 months on the lees, 5g dosage On the nose, lemon, apple, freshly baked bread, flinty minerality, struck match Very lively mousse, good stream of bubbles Rich buttery pastry, apple turnover Green apple sorbet, lemon, lime Lots of wet stone minerality Zippy acidity Saline seaside finish”

Summary
Vasse Felix Idée Fixe Premier Brut is an Australian sparkling wine from Margaret River. The grape is Chardonnay.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Vasse Felix Idée Fixe Premier Brut lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Sparkling · Australie (1 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 159.
